Your home’s toilet is one of its most important plumbing appliances. Because it’s likely used frequently throughout the day, it should be well-invested in to promote functionality, comfort, and aesthetics. While choosing a toilet for your home may not seem like a big deal, it’s important to consider aspects such as style, color, and operation, along with sizing and placement, to get the most out of your appliance.
Your toilet should never be overlooked. If your existing system is no longer working properly or you’re simply ready for an upgrade, keep reading for more on the different types of toilets to choose from to better understand what might be the right model for you.
Different Toilets To Choose From
Before purchasing a new toilet for your home, you should familiarize yourself with the different available options. Furthermore, considering the manufacturer and your plumbing needs and hiring a professional for replacement or installation is critical. The types of toilets to choose from at AP Plumbing include:
Dual-Flush Toilets
Dual-flush models are great for improving efficiency and preventing wasted water. This model features a dual-flush drop valve, providing two ways to flush. It uses less water to flush liquid waste and more water to flush solid waste, saving water while reducing the risk of clogging.
Low-Flush Toilets
Low-flow toilets, also designed to prevent water waste, are common in many households. They are built to use no more than 1.6 gallons of water with every flush, which can save homeowners up to 13,000 gallons of water a year. They typically use either gravity flush or power flush methods to function.
One-Piece Toilets
One-piece toilets are designed without a tank and bowl and have fewer nooks and crevices, giving them a sleek, aesthetically pleasing appearance. Additionally, they are easier to clean. They are often utilized for their space-saving properties. However, they are a costlier investment upfront, heavier to install, and require a full replacement if cracked or chipped, as they are one solid piece rather than multiple parts.
